My momma told me that love will either build you or break you down, regardless of which you will get it will transform you.
You neither break me or build me, rather you help me navigate myself in a world where almost everyone is lost in their own worlds.
When I first laid my eyes on you, I vow everything changed that instant.
The colours were brighter and more vibrant,
The sounds were more audible and coordinated,
The world seemed to be moving in slow motion, and to be honest I didnt care because I wanted to stay in that blissful moment forever.
I was okay with watching you from afar because I was so I afraid I would burn you if I held you.
I froze when you walked towards me, and watched in awe as you spoke to me.
We said our first hellos, and became friends, with time out of our little spark grew a fierce flame, one which is too great to be extinguished
I studied your every move, the way your eyes twinkle when you smile, the way you knit your eyebrows together when you get frustrated, the way your dimple popped up when you are suppressing a laugh, I wanted to know it all because I was so afraid I might wake and see that it was all a dream or one day you might walk I way and I will need something to help me survive.
You are my little Oasis, my safe haven that I want to keep all to myself
You let me be me, even if I might not know who I am.
You are the reason why I grin like a fool even in the most daunting times.
You are my reason why
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
